The 13th Connecticut was part of the 19th Army Corps, who served in Lousiana from 1862 and 1863. In the summer of 1864 they were brought to Virginia to reinforce Grant's Siege of Petersburg, but after Jubal Early's Raid on Washington they instead were added to Sheridan's Army of the Shenandoah.

Colonel Charles D. Blinn commanded the regiment in the battles of Third Winchester, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek.
